It's nearly Christmas!

I can't believe there is less than 4 weeks till Christmas. I made a decision a little while ago that I was determined not to go anywhere near a shopping centre. This year I have done it all online.

My nephews absolutely adore Lego. In fact my older nephew recently told me that once he has finished school he is going to become an architect and earn enough money to open a Lego store. Both my nephews will work there. So I ordered them a few Lego things that I know they don't already have, and I got free shipping. Everybody loves free shipping. ;)

I like to try and find presents for my nephews which enable them to learn something and there's no better place than the National Geographic store for that. I got them some brilliant things from there. When it came to the checkout I could choose from free shipping or 20% off - I went with the free shipping.

Roadworks Schmoadworks

Today we went for a drive and on just one road there were three sections which were being worked on. It seems that over here in NSW the idea is, just throw asphalt around in the hope it might create a road all on its own. In South Australia they always built roads properly.

Sometimes here I can be driving down the road and I'll drive over a pothole they just filled with asphalt from a bag - not from a proper truck - and the noise as the stones are thrown up to the underside of your car.. it is terrifying. And the stuff sticks to your car. I don't know how they expect those potholes to get filled unless they do them properly.
